# Building container images
|
||||
|
||||
You can use Dagger to build container images. Here's a simple example of a [Dockerfile](https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/dockerfile_best-practices/) build:
|
||||
|
||||
```cue file=../tests/core-concepts/container-images/plans/with-dockerfile.cue
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Building with CUE
|
||||
|
||||
`Dockerfile` files are easy to start, but you can also build images entirely in CUE. The following example produces the same image as above:
|
||||
|
||||
```cue file=../tests/core-concepts/container-images/plans/build.cue
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Automation
|
||||
|
||||
Building images in CUE gives you greater flexibility. For example, you can automate building multiple versions of an image, and deploy, all in Dagger:
|
||||
|
||||
```cue file=../tests/core-concepts/container-images/plans/template.cue
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can deploy all versions:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
dagger do versions
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or just build a specific version, without pushing:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
dagger do versions 8.0 build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Multi-stage build
|
||||
|
||||
Another common pattern is [multi-stage builds](https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/multistage-build/#use-multi-stage-builds). This allows you to have heavier build images during the build process, and copy the built artifacts into a cleaner and lighter image to run in production.
|
||||
|
||||
```cue file=../tests/core-concepts/container-images/plans/multi-stage.cue
|
||||
```
